 The Lagos flooding is in part due to a long-running drainage problem. Jacinta Obuco was out on the street to find out how people were reacting to this. Take a listen. It's a rainy season, but only a few people could have imagined today's outpouring would be this much. The rain started in the morning in many parts of Lagos and continues into the evening. Highbrow Victoria Island, particularly here at Legali Ayurinde Street, is flooded and residents are struggling to get home from work. Our whole VI is flooded like this. We are not happy. We are working inside the water. And it is not healthy for VI to be like this. Everywhere is blocked, traffic everywhere is damped. Please, we are calling on the government to please help us to do something. When they even meet us on Third Milan Bridge or anywhere, they still use escalators to chase us. They'll press us on the road. So let them give us good road, please. It's up to the government to do the needful. They know what to do. They have to ensure the drainage has a higher depth. When I was in my village hearing about Lagos, I was like, wow, Lagos is a kind of a place which I come, I'll have fun, flags and all that. But me now carrying my shoe in my hand, working under this place, I don't even like it at all. I feel like going back to my village. They can't do the right thing for us to just commute to the bus stop. I'm not sure for the government if they are cleaning this road, they need to clear the gutter, fix this road and make it nice. Working under this rain, not good. Today, because of this rain and the flooding, our staff bus couldn't move. We have one at the traffic light that got spoiled there because of the heavy flood. So we are just praying that the government or the state government can help us to fix the road. At least there's no proper drainage here. So the things have been a very big problem to us. Nigeria's most popular state is the coastal city which is prone to waves, tides and storm surges. But experts have long blamed a poor drainage system for much of the floods in Lagos. There is practically nowhere one can move around here without being soaked, including vehicles on the road. I mean, look at me, look at the level at which the water is on me. And this is mostly the consigns and fears of residents here in Victoria Island, especially during the rainy season, talking of flooding. Jessica Obuga reporting for FlosTV Africa.
